AFP and concealing a crime

AFP to break silence over Bali Nine

SOME believe their case is closed while others say they have blood on their hands, but for the first time we will hear the Australian Federal Police’s side of the story when it comes to the investigation into the Bali Nine.

The agency is set to break its silence over its role in the arrests of the drug smugglers in Indonesia, which ultimately led tot he execution of ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran last week.

If the AFP failed to act would it be guilty of concealing a crime? Given our laws allow 16-year-olds to leave home and give the finger to various agencies and parents how on earth could the AFP say to Scot 'brainless' Rush: "NO, you're not leaving Australia."

I watched the press conference................... nothing I heard told me that the AFP had any need to inform Indonesia of a crime that "might" take place.

It seems they are all happy with the decision they made.

they had information that a crime was going to happen - they were right.

Would you not want police from another country to pass on information of crimes about to take place here?

The crime would have been entering another country with the drugs.

However, where did I say that I wouldn't want that to happen?

i asked the question as you seem to think it wrong that our police informed another country of a crime about to be committed, there was no 'might' about it - they committed a crime.

Why is it so many people look to blame others when the only ones to blame are the ones doing the crime?

The way I see it the AFP are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Imagine the outcry if they had let the drugs into the country and our taxpayers had to foot the bill for the courtcase and prison stay.

I think the persons who committed the crime are to blame for their own predicament.
My comments are related to the statements made by the AFP. They couldn't detain Scott Rush for what he "might do"
